Be.
Become.
Becoming...
Becoming brave.
Bending, breathing, breaking --
Born breathtaking,
Belonging beyond beauty.
Bona-fide badass --
Be bright,
Boundlessly bestowing blessings.
Be bossy --
Bring bravery, blue blood, brawn --
But beware: brains beat battles.
Born blessed,
Becoming better,
Becoming best.
Be bold.
Believe bravely.
Bloom brilliantly!
Beloved...
Be.

One Minute to Noon
“OK, guys!” I screech over the macaw-like chatter in my sophomore English class. My students are sharing mementos they accumulated during summer vacation. The assignment is to interview each other and write an expository essay about another student’s treasure: Misty’s coquina shells and sand dollars from Florida, Ruth’s two Navajo pottery mugs from New Mexico, Roxy’s perfume from Paris, Kevin’s chocolate from Hershey Pennsylvania, a picador’s sword from a bullfight in San Fermin Spain, where one of my favorite students, Manny Pérez, ran with the bulls at festival.

So heartwarming and encouraging. ❤️ I think this is one of the few tautograms that makes sense, keeps the words simple, and is easy to read! The form fits your poem like a glove.
This was a top story in my book. I loved the structure; it made me pause briefly to take it all in. Great work!
Holly, this tautogram brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for writing it, and thank you for sharing this gorgeous message. Now, I'll go be and breathe. Thank you 🤗 🥰
So beautiful!!
Woahh nicely done! Just the word "Be" has such a powerful meaning and it resonates so well with the way you've written this
Great mantra with so many great lines! Believe bravely! ❤️
As I read I saw many possible allusions to parts of popular book titles by women. Interested if it was planned or happenstance. Bold and bodacious!
Brilliant!!!
This was so uplifting and inspirational! Very powerful! I loved it so much!
